Hello all, I recently joined a company who is running Exchange 2003 for mail services. Currently they have three issues with the Exchange server that I cannot seem to resolve. The First Administrative Group icon is Gray instead of Red? It has been like this for some time and I am not sure if this indicates that there is a problem with Exchange? The Change button on the Log file Directory has been grayed out? A path has not been specified, instead the following error message is being displayed An error occurred during a call to Windows Management Instrumentation|||| ID no:80041013|| Exchange System Manager|| No counters are currently being displayed in Performance Monitor? I cannot even add any counters as the Add button has been greyed out? Unfortunately, I have not found any resolves for these issues on the net. I have tried the following; Error: Windows management Instrumentation ID no. 80041013 Exchange System ManagerResolves tried;Check that the "Impersonate a client after Authentication" policy to see if the Service and Local Service are present. The Policy is being applied from the local machine. No Domain GP is being applied to define these settings. Regardless, it still has both accounts applied Check to see if any 3rd Party Software is causing a conflict I have checked Microsofts recommendations to see if any programs listed would cause an issue. We do not have any of the listedprograms on the Exchange Server Re-register the Exchange 2003 namespace with WMI I have re-registered the Exwmi.mof file. As recommended by Microsoft relating to the But this has made no difference Download and Install Microsoft Exchange Analyzer tool Did not really tell me anything related to the issues that I am having? Can anyone help?

Hello fellow Techie's, I managed to fix one of the three issues that I am facing on the Exchange Server. Performance Monitor was showing no counters that I could add. The following files were missing from the C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 FOLDER; Perfc009.dat Perfd009.dat Perfh009.dat Perfi009.dat I basically copied these over from another 2000 Server and placed them in the directory. Some help on the other issues would be highly appreciated. Regards JJK
